If you have ever wanted to get ripped six pack abs and done thousands of crunches, but have never been able to see them so far, you might be frustrated with never getting those abs to appear?

Maybe you have tried dieting to try and lose a couple of pounds in order to lose some belly fat and are still not able to see your abs from behind the fat?

So what is really the best thing to get six pack abs? Diet or Exercise? Most people think that by only eating well you will be able to get a six pack, and for the most part, this is true... however, it will be a tiny little six pack that will not look all that "muscular", which is usually the look you are looking for. Most people want a lean, muscular body and you can only achieve that with proper nutrition AND exercise.

On the other hand, if you only exercise and eat wrong, you will not see results either... You will feel tired and never have enough energy to train at your fullest. You will have slower success... Of course, if you run 8 miles a day, a fast food meal won't really matter, but it won't help you get that six pack either...

The answer to getting a really nice, ripped, muscular six pack that you probably are looking for you will need to perform the right type of exercise. The right type of exercise is shorter, more intense resistance training sessions targeting some of the bigger body parts, such as legs, arms, and chest.

When you target bigger muscles your body needs more energy to keep them running, thus burn more fat at rest. So you get more of a 24 hour a day body fat burn. Add some interval training and a couple miles jogging per week and you will burn enough fat to get lean and ripped in 12-16 weeks, but only if you eat right.

Like I said, you will also need to eat properly to see any results whatsoever... Once you start to eat healthy and eat a lot more vegetables and fruit, as well as oatmeal, other fibers and protein, you will find that you are building muscle and dropping pounds like never before. If you knew that you could get 25-50 pounds lighter in 12-16 weeks and you knew it worked, how hard would you work for it?
